GREENWOOD, S.C. – The Lees-McRae College softball team dropped a pair of games on the road at Lander Saturday afternoon by scores of 4-3 in 10 innings and 8-0 in six innings. With the results Saturday, LMC's record stands at 1-7 on the season.

Game 1 Recap – The first game of the day was a very competitive one. Lander opened the scoring in the bottom half of the first with a pair of runs. LMC would get within one with a sacrifice fly in the second and then tie the score at 2-2 with a solo home run from Kirsten Doss. The Bearcats pulled back in front in the bottom of the fourth, and the Bobcats answered with a run in following half inning. Lees-McRae and Lander would then play five more innings to decide a winner. Lander scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th to walk-off the Bobcats, 4-3.

Cunningham proved to be the tough luck losing pitcher in game one. She pitched nine-and-two-thirds innings on the day, allowed four runs with only one being earned to go along with eight strikeouts.

Game 2 Recap – The back end of Saturday's doubleheader was quite a bit different than the front end was. Lander scored eight runs on 11 hits and were helped by four errors by the Bobcats to finish off the doubleheader sweep, 8-0.

LMC starter Cassidy Largen was saddled with the loss after allowing 11 hits, eight runs (two earned) in five-and-one third innings of work. Largen's record moves to 0-4 with the loss.

Next Up – The Bobcats will be back in action Sunday when it takes on USC Aiken in a twin bill. First pitch for Sunday's doubleheader is set for 1 p.m.
